Where in Upstate NY? I was born in Canastota, NY

10 years ago I bought a bunch of proper vents. These are made from egg
carton type foam and are used to ensure airflow past the insulation.
Because I had so many of them I completely did my attic from soffit
vents to the ridge vents. I immediatly saw a major differance even
before I insulated. Temp in my attic dropped on average of 25 degrees
before insulating.
When I built my shop I took it a step further by proper venting the
entire under roof deack then took heavy duty aluminum foil and covered
them. I never needed to insulate after that.
The proper vents I bought wholesale were around .36 each.

Anywhere north or NW of NYC and Westchester Co. is upstate! :-)

That's a fact. Where I'm from is referred to as central NY. We think of
upstate as Watertown, plattsburgh area and down by the city as the
southren tier

We have to use that designation when we travel outside of the state
because when you say you are from New York, they assume you are from New
York City. :-)

I'm in the Hudson Valley.

Roger that! Same here. I don't want people to think I'm from the 51st
state.
